Well here we go into Week Two of Veg! 👏😎 With two weeks of initial growth behind her now, the Dutch Passion Auto Glueberry OG is doing great and sprouting her 4th set of leaves which means LST will start soon for this girl!
Thank you for following along this journey with me! Growing these beautiful cultivars is always better with someone to share the experience with....come along and enjoy! 😎🙏
~Grown 100% organic in a 10g fabric pot with Mother Earth 70/30 Coco/Perlite medium amended with 2tbs/g Down To Earth 4-4-4 / 2 cups/g Earthworm Castings / 1tbs/g Dr. Earth Flower Girl 2-8-4 and 1tbs/g Dr. Earth Bat Guano.
~24hr light cycle during germination / 19/5 light cycle for Veg & Flower
~Straight water ph'd @ 6.2-6.8 when needed, top dressed every 3-4 weeks and weekly Compost Tea's.
3/8- I must say this Dutch Passion Auto Glueberry OG continues to impress me and is fast approaching my favorites list! She continues to gain size, is maintaining her color & vigor and has perfect structure! Just another phenomenal cultivar from the EXPERTS at Dutch Passion! 😎👍
I'm continuing to water twice daily with 0.25g of de-chlorinated water that is ph'd to 6.4-6.6 @ 74 degrees with an EC of 0.2-0.4. Every other day I'm adding 5ml/g of Fox Farms Wholly Mackerel and twice weekly adding 3ml/g of Botanicare CalMag+. Tomorrow she'll be getting her first Compost Tea {Wiggle Worm Castings/Alfalfa Meal/Kelp Meal/Unsulfured Molasses and a small amount of Dr. Earth Flower Girl 3-9-4 dry amendment and 1 scoop of Great White Mycorrhiza} that I started yesterday, of which she'll receive 0.5g of... She should love it!😍
I am also continuing to give her nightly Foliar feedings via spray bottle just before the dark period with Fox Farms Flower Kiss which she's digging!
Insofar as environmental conditions, the tent temperatures remain a consistent 68-78 degrees with the RH running 50-55% currently and the co2 levels going from 500ppm's on the low end to 900 on the high side. The HLG 650Ris currently @ 40" above canopy pulling 300w at the wall. I'll crank up the 650R some more as her growth progresses. Lastly, when she starts pre-flower I'll start supplementing additional co2 up to 1200ppm's.
The biggest challenge when growing indoors organically with 10g pots is providing just the right amount of water as you want the medium throughout the ENTIRE pot to be moist (not wet) to give the root system every opportunity to spread throughout the medium all the way to the sides and bottom (or close to it). That said, keeping up with adequate watering is a challenge, but extremely essential for optimal plant growth.
With a 10g pot FILLED with a root mass you WILL get enormous results provided all other factors are kept on point....and that's the KEY! Perfect environmental conditions, proper feeding and watering, good genetics and a HUGE root system (1200ppm's of additional co2 helps a bunch too!) = Monster Cannabis!💪😎
3/10- The Dutch Passion Auto Glueberry OG received her first Compost Tea yesterday and it looks like she loved it! (knew she would...lol!). I gave her approx. 1/2g of tea, fed to her gradually to allow the medium to absorb the tea.
I also began LST to get a handle on her before she gets away from me. With a tent full I try to keep everyone manageable as possible.
Her color continues to slowly improve and her vigor continues to be excellent. The holes that appeared on her first leaf set are a thing of the past and no sign of any further issues atm.
The temp's in the Gorilla 4x8 are running 72-80 degrees with a 45-50% RH which is perfect for her right now. The HLG 650R is @ 40" and pulling 300w at the wall which is just under half power. 😎👍
3/12- Well she is 18 Days old today! My girl is on a growth spurt, approaching 5'' tall, and sprouting her sixth set of leaves which are fully out. Her next set of leaves are visible and should be out in a day or two as she seems to sprout more leaves daily. She continues to receive LST to create as many colas as possible and she's its taking it in stride without complaint!
She continues to receive nightly foliar feeding with Fox Farms Flower Kiss mixed @ 5ml/g and applied just before the 5 hour dark period. Daily watering's continue with de-chlorinated water which has 5ml/g of Fox Farms Wholly Mackerel added to it, then it's ph'd to 6.4-6.6 @ 72deg. with a 0.4 EC.
The HLG 650R is 40" above her and set to 300w at the wall. Tent temperatures are a steady 80.1 degrees thanks to my AC Infinity Cloudline T6 w/ Controller which is set to maintain the 80 degree temp. automatically by varying the fan speed....Works like a charm! 😎👍 RH in the 4x8 is 45-55% and all fans are running now as well as the IdealAir 14k BTU A/C unit. Next week I will lower the light to 38" and increase the wattage to 350 at the wall.
She really is shaping up to be an absolute perfect specimen of this auto strain from Dutch Passion. She's got perfect structure, has extreme vigor and phenomenal growth rate... Look out for this girl!😎👍
3/14- Well there goes another week behind us on this journey to dank, sticky buds!
OMG this Dutch Passion Auto Glueberry OG is shaping up to be a monster! When the breeder says XXL they mean it, she's putting out new growth daily and her rate of growth is incredible!
I'm continuing to water her daily with .50g of de-chlorinated water which has 5ml/g of Fox Farms Wholly Mackerel added, then was ph'd to 6.6 @ 72 degrees 0.4 EC using Alchemist PH Down which was diluted before being added to the solution. Her nightly foliar feedings using Fox Farms Flower Kiss @ 5ml/g just before the 5 hour dark cycle continues as well which has made a very noticeable difference in her overall vigor! I have not, in the past, used foliar feeding a lot but in light of how this girl is responding, I'll be foliar feeding an all my future runs!😍
~Thank you so much for following along so far! I hope you'll continue to follow my journey through the next weeks as things will be getting more exciting as the next weeks approach... Grow Strong! 😎🙏~
@Rock_n_Roll_Randy, IKR! This is what happens when you have a 'Auto' that decides it would rather be a Photoperiod! I'm flipping her today after 95+ days of veg...Look out! 😜
